To be honest I really don't know at this stage. I will still likely use film for family portraits for the forseeable, because I want 6*4s of all of them for the album - that's just the obsessional/anal way I am! However, I currently shoot SOME portraits on slide (provia and Astia are great, and it is magnificent seeing them 5 foot high on a projector), and printing odd ones individually is a hassle. But the very fact I do this means that I will sometimes use digital for this too. Where I see me doing more digital is where I traditionally use slides. I can experiment a lot more and get instant feedback. I really don't know which I will choose here, but I guess it will initially be a choice between new toy excitement and old faithful with nice handling. It will be a choice, rahter than a backup situation. I actually don't really need or particularly sensibly want digital, its just an overwhelming urge, reinforced by the hassle of scanning. Where I currently use print film I will continue to do so almost certainly for some time. I just WANT a new toy!!!
